If you’re in search of a traditional Tuscan escape, this home delivers a great solution. Just 10 kilometres from Cortona, this rustic sanctuary consists of three independent apartments (each with its own entrance) – making it a great option for groups and families. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings are a little dated, but you will find a peaceful garden, a private pool and a large terrace with a barbecue. Your host can also help organise a range of extra services, including cooking classes and spa treatments. From here, it’s just a short drive to local amenities, while majestic cities like Arezzo and Siena are also within easy reach.

Home truths:
*Please note this home is spread across three floors and consists of three apartments. Each floor has its own kitchen and entrance. There is also an adjoining annexe with a dining room.
*While not all of the rooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is 10 kilometres away.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between 14 May and 30th September.
